Treatment assembly e.g. for removing wood pulp from liquid in paper mills, has screen filter, agitator assembly for creating turbulence to clean solids, wash water inlet, and unit for continuously removing solids from agitator assembly

摘要

A treatment assembly comprises a screen filter (13) having a portion immersed in the flowing liquid for trapping solids in the flowing liquid and lifting the solids out of the flowing liquid. An agitator assembly (21) is mounted in cooperation with the screen filter for receiving the lifted solids. Wash water inlet (27) flows wash water into the agitator assembly. The agitator assembly has an agitator that creates turbulence in the wash water to clean the solids. The assembly includes unit for continuously removing solids from the agitator assembly. An independent claim is also included for a method for removing solids from a liquid.
